Where is your Heart On Valentine’s Day?


In thoughts of everlasting,
or in dreams of dust and earthen worms?
Maybe in fables and lies of life-giving death?
Go-ahead continue digging for worms –
soon you will be one…

Yes, the flesh dies and is consumed by death,
yet, a miracle will raise it again to everlasting.
And still another miracle –
for some, never seeing death
but instead enjoying life forever.

Where is your Heart?
Everlasting love? Everlasting death?

Shock-words, death words, gross life,
under the earth living, can be everlasting
of your own choosing.
Choose against that…

Choose life.
Living waters, forever in truth and life
His way…
Not death.
Living in hell forever, your way…

His heart was always for you
from everlasting to everlasting.

The ultimate Valentine’s Day card,
not a heart carved of cardboard or paper,
but a wooden cross
where He stretched out His arms
and died for all –
all who would believe…

Now that is scary, right?

Someone suffering humiliation
and beatings, all day long, then dying
in faith to be raised from the dead,
raised to the living
so that you may live forever
in love and light…

Be still!
You need not squirm like a worm,
You need not dig a grave,
You need not look and listen to death,
and lies of dead men wanting you to visit
them in Sheol –
living dead;
man’s boasting fables…

Be still!  Listen!
He has hold of you to save you
from a death-fall,
listen to His voice
He is speaking to you…

Be still, He is pulling you toward Him –
to life-everlasting love.


Where is your heart on Valentine’s Day??

Give your heart to Yeshua, Jesus.
He is faithful to you, in love,
forever.
He will save you…


And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?" And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?" And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
(Mark 4:37-41 ESV)

That is salvation... the ultimate love for the undeserving. *S*

Love this! ((hugs))
